1. They Lead In Education

If you don't know that Wole Soyinka is Africa's first Nobel Prize for Literature winner, then you are a learner. Click here to learn more www.learnersforum.com . No other Nigerian has ever won this award. In science and tech, Engr Ayodele Awojobi remains Nigeria's greatest ever. Google about him to confirm. In Medicine, Nigeria's best medical student ever is Victor Olalusi, having graduated from a Russian university with a perfect score of 5.0 CGPA, first of its kind in world's history. He had previously had best WASSCE result in Nigeria in 2004 and highest post utme score in OAU. In Law, you know Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana and others. I can go on and on.
Moreover, the best universities in Nigeria are located in the Southwest. UI is incomparable, you know. Ogun State has the highest number of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The best private universities are owned by Yorubas and situated in the southwest- Covenant, Landmark, Afe Babalola etc. You now know why other tribes rush to the Yoruba land like it's paradise?

2. They Lead in Entertainment

Music is now big business in Nigeria. Historically, the greatest African musician who ever lived was Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The world's greatest award in music is the Grammy Award. The only two Nigerian musicians ever nominated for the Grammy are Femi Kuti and Sunny Ade. None from other tribes. Even the MOBO, top black music award, has been dominated by acts like Tuface, 9ice, D'banj, Wizkid and Davido, from Nigeria. Only Tubaba is the non-Yoruba here. Psquare NEVER win am o, before una start to dey argue. Every artiste now tries to sing in Yoruba e.g. Chidinma and Flavour- Ololufe, Psquare- E je A Jo, etc like sey na only Yoruba language fit make person sell wella. Even Rugged sef go steal Yoruba baba song diss 9ice. Lol. Yorubas rule the Nigerian music world.
In movies, Omotola remains the most celebrated having been listed in TIMES magazine of 2013 as one of the most influential human beings on earth, a feat her close competitor, Genevieve is yet to achieve. Respect Yorubas!

3. They Lead in Leadership/Politics

Love him or hate him, Obasanjo was for many years the most powerful person in Nigerian politics. He remains the first person to have ruled Nigeria as both military and civilian presido. Since the 2011 general elections, the most influential person has been Bola Tinubu(love him or hate him). Historically, the most celebrated Nigerian politician ever is M.K.O Abiola. Do you know that Odumegwu Ojukwu greatly respected Obafemi Awolowo? During the civil war, he said this about Awolowo, ''one day, the Yoruba nation will tear apart from Nigeria without firing a single shot. And it will be through Awo's legacy.'' If Ojukwu could respect Yorubas, who are you not to? Lol.

4. They Lead in Religion

I for no bring religion come here but as e be sey na major role religion dey play for Naija, I say make I bring am. The largest church in Nigeria is the RCCG, founded and led by a Yoruba. MFM, Deeper Life, Gospel Faith etc are all founded and led by Yorubas. Funny thing is, those wey dey beef Yorubas full these churches o, lol. Have you been to SCOAN? Love TB Joshua or hate him, people troop into that church from all over the world, even professors and people who are more educated and exposed than you are. Yes, you! Top non-Yoruba church founders like Pastors Lazarus Mouka and Oyakhilome have their churches' headquarters situated in the Yorubaland. Others are still scrambling for spaces in the Yorubaland, lol. Yorubas welcome and accommodate all of you o. Just respect them!

5. They Rule The Social Media

The largest blog in Nigeria is Nairaland, founded and led by Seun Osewa. Thumbs up bro. I can only imagine how much that dude has made. How I wish he could just declare his assets publicly, so people will would know that those blowing their trumpets about buying a house in Banana Island still be learner for blog business. Lol

6. The Southwest Is The Business Centre of Nigeria

Oya tell me why you carry your business come do for Lagos and you no do am for your village. Business no go move abi? Can you tell me the region in Nigeria where Banana Island, Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island are situated. I know you wish to live for these areas, shey? Dangote is the richest man in Nigeria, right? Ask him which region most of his investments are situated and why he chose that region. Ask Psquare if they fit sell their house wey dey Banana Island, go buy another one for Aba. Lol, so you see?

I never said Yoruba is the best tribe o. Abeg no misquote me. These are just very few of the reasons you have to respect the Yorubas. I envy them a lot. They deserve every hype they get.

Omo Yoruba ni Mi o

Swagger

TBH, it appears the ibos now lead in education.

Yoruba for life. Who leads in crime? Your guess is as good as mine ;

Omo iya,ori e wanbe

Is this necessary

Yoruba a tribe that it language can be found in all language spoken all over the world. We king not by mouth

kini eleyi suro olori broku, olori jabejabe uto ni

Wa gbayi omo iya.

agadez007:
7.they dont take their baths,their girls dont wash their bra and pant,and the smell from down below can kill people


8.they are always doing omo onile and chasing after danfo shouthing ''haaaa Owo mi da'' ,when they are not into omo onile they are robbing people

9.they dont shiat in WC (water closet) they prefer to do it in Nylons then cleans their ass with their hands

10.they concot oily foods which clog their brain thereby making it hard to reason like human beigns


Complete

And you know all this personal stuff how?
I guess you are actually describing your family members

They'll deny. . But any intelligent fellow can tell that Yorubas have been dominant in the film industry more so than any other ethnicity

Our yoruba movies cannot be compared with hausa or igbo movies

Even in english films, we give quality not quantity

Correction:Fela was a great musician,but not the greatest African musician who ever lived.He was more known for his militantism than his musical prouesses.Musically,luambo Makiadi alias Franco,the father of Congolese modern music was ways greater than Fella

Fela may not be the greatest African musician who ever lived. But he was a far more legendary music figure than your Franco.

I doubt you will find 10 people outside of Central Africa who have even heard of the man. (I hadn't heard of him until now.) The name 'Fela', however, is recognised across the African continent and even outside it.

Even you, a Congolese, have heard of Fela. I'd wager no one on this thread knows or have ever heard of your man Franco.

What do you know about music?What do you know about African music?Fame and talent are two different things!Anybody who doesn't know Franco,doesnt know anything about African music.Fella was a great musician,but to say he was the greatest African musician ever is a lie.

I can't believe you typed this without any facts. You'd observe that I produced facts in my write-up but you...? Na wa o.

How did you come to the ridiculous conclusion that the duo of Psquare is the richest? Have you checked their bank account and those of other artistes? Do you know how much Kwam 1 or Sunny Ade, who was just awarded 500 million naira by a court have? Or is it because they don't flaunt unnecessarily? People like you would conclude that Buhari is poor! Besides, wetin concern me with artistes' money when Psquare and yet to achieve the feat I mentioned there. For your info, I deliberately mentioned their name cos of people like you. Who even told you Psqaure is richer than D'banj or Davido who already inherited a lot of money from his father. Go and check their bank account and produce facts before I start an argument with you.

I never disputed your fact in the area of soccer.

Hehe, WASSCE? Produce facts abeg. Tell me the states that have been winning the Cow-bell Maths Competition most. It's Ogun State. Iganmode secondary won it three times back to back. Google is there for you. Second is Ota Total Academy. Followed by Loyola Jesuit College.

In 2011, Tolu Falokun had best WASSCE result. In 2012, Fiyinfoluwa had best wassce, Kemi Olalude came second while Chinelo Ibekwe from Louisville Girls High School OGUN STATE came third. In 2013, Toba Ogunfolaji had best WASSCE result and second best NECO result. Go confirm all this. Back up your points with facts not assumptions.

Just take a second look at the crowd on Nairaland and compare with LIB. Ask yourself and your friends the number of times you visit LIB compared with the number of times you visit Nairaland.

As for religion, I never wanted to add that as I typed there. But I had to add it because the role of religion in Nigeria cannot be overstressed. I never said religion was business, I only told you why you have to respect Yorubas. What church do you attend? It is founded by who and where is it located? At least, respect Yorubas because God chose to use them more or because God chose the southwest for his ministry. If you don't believe so, then respect them because they thrive in religious business.

You shouldn't even say anything when it comes to politics, because you'd have no point. Don't tell me you guys haven't contested and failed several times. Respect Yorubas.

Fela produced 47 albums in afro-beat and sing mostly in broken English and Franco produced 100albums in his native language and created a style of music(rumba) that far outlasted him and made Congolese music the greatest music ever to come out of the African continent.What is fella legacy?

Fela created Afrobeat which is still in existence all over Africa till tomorrow. Concerning number of albums, you can as well say Olamide is better than D'banj because Olamide has five albums while D'banj has just two.

Fela's legacy? Ask his son Femi Kuti who has been nominated for the Grammy Award 4 times.

Chai! Na wa o. Cowbell is endorsed by NECO and all schools in all regions in Nigeria compete for it. So you have to respect whoever happens to be the overall winner. And I did not mention Cow-bell only in my post. Didn't you see all the facts I put down concerning WASSCE? Na only Cow-bell you see?

Who plays afro-beat?Dbanj?Davido?....We all know what grammy awards are.Had fela did all his career in Yoruba like franco did his in lingala,I doubt we will be having this discussion.Franco legacy is there in the best music ever in Africa.nobody can contest that!

You're asking who plays Afro Beat. Femi Kuti(Fela's son), plays Afro Beat exactly like his father and he has been nominated for the Grammy four times. Educate us on what Grammy Awards are.

Other artistes, Davido, D'banj and every other one also use infusion of AfroBeat. Just come to Lagos for the annual Felabration, and you will meet all artistes there. Ask every one of them how they've been influenced by Fela and you will be shocked to hear their response. You'll even be surprised that none knows the Franco you are talking about.

And femi kuti is you definition of a great musician?
I asked you to give the names of Fela kuti musical descendants who are known in Africa and you failed to give me any.The music,dance and guitar style created by Franco are still here living Thanks to great talents like Papa wemba,Koffi olomide,Fally ipupa,Awilo longomba,..........These guys just changed Franco original beat to make it more commercial.And all these guys conquered Africa not by composing and singing in English but in their native language.Fela was a great musician,but saying he is the greastest African musician ever is an exaggeration.
This is what a call great music!Great vocals,great guitar,great arrangements ......Can you put a Yoruba afrobeat that sounds as great?
